need some help on my engine swap
OK here's the deal I have a 2005 stratus with a blown engine, I bought a 2005 sebring engine with 32k miles. Looks great but, through a VIN mixup,I bought a non flex fuel engine, my stratus was a flex fuel car, hmmmm
Im not ever going to run anything but unleaded, can i use this engine or am i going to have to modify something?

i know that the way that the flexfuel works, is to "recognize" the E85, and adjust the fuel input to achieve the proper mixture, whether gas or alcohol. i do not know for sure, but i would think that the computer for the flexfuel models would be more advanced, and possibly the injectors and fuel pump.
i think that your best bet to answer these questions, would be to go to a dodge dealership and talk to a parts guy. they may know off the top of their head, and if they dont, if they look in starparts, they should be able to see if things like the PCM, injectors, fuel pump, etc...list different parts for flexfuel and non flexfuel.
